Boston Dynamics has been very upfront about the fact that they’ve been developing the robot dogs for “police and military” applications. This protest is performative; they’ve known exactly what they’re doing for a very long time.
No, you don’t understand! The company said we were designing our robots to be able to hold a gun, so that it could use seed cannons to autonomously plant trees!

Well, they ain’t gonna do much. For $1.3M they’re only getting 3 or 4. You couldn’t control my little redneck town with 4 robots.
